    So I've had this candy cane for a few months now and today I noticed the center section, mine happens to be turquoise, seems sunk in. Also the ridges on the purple part seem to be standing out a lot more? Anything I should worry about or are they good?

    Flow is a 750 koralia on the other side of the tank about 20" away so I'm pretty sure it has enough flow. The last time I checked my params was on Friday and they were;
    Cal-400
    Amm-0
    Nitrite-0
    Nitrate-0
    DKH- 10
    Ph-8.4
    Phos-0
    Salinity- 1.025

    Looks like they are in water exchange mode. They look healthy to me. Mine do that every so often.

    Looks like the heads may be getting ready to split into two. That's how mine grows.
